Stampin’ Up! Amber Autumn Sunset

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a great weekend and are enjoying the fall weather. Tar and I have out monthly online class this afternoon and we’re both looking forward to it. We’ll be making 6 Autumn cards with those that signed up. We’re already starting to plan our October class, and we’ll announce it this week after we give those that attend today’s class a sneak peek.

Today’s card is actually a pretty quick one mixing some DSP from the Annual Catalog with one of the new fall bundles. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin’ Up! Etched Autumn CAS

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend. It’s been beautiful here in NJ the past few days, upper 70’s to low 80’s with very low humidity. I’ve had my windows open and enjoying the fresh air. I took both my pups for a walk yesterday with my niece and her pup, on National Dog Day. We were out walking for over an hour and my 2 crashed when we got home.

I have a super quick card for you today featuring new products coming net Wednesday, September 3rd. I hope you are all getting those shopping lists ready to go. I did my favorite Autumn Technique, the baby wipe technique. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up1 Etched Autumn CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Etched Autumn Cling Stamp Set along with the new Stampin’ Up! Amber Autumn Cling Stamp Set and Traditional Labels Dies for my card today. All these items will be available starting next Wednesday September 3rd.

Stampin' Up1 Etched Autumn CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Flatted a couple baby wipes in a stamp case. Add drops of Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, Darling Duckling, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive and Timid Tiger from the Stampin’ Ink Refills. Let the colors mix well on their own. Press the leaf image from the Etched Autumn stamp set on the baby wipe to pick up the ink on the stamp. Stamp the image on a panel of Basic Beige.

Stampin' Up1 Etched Autumn CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the stamped panel to a Mossy Meadow mat with Stampin’ Seal. Wrap a piece of the Old Olive Linen Thread from the Early Espresso & Old Olive Linen Thread Pack (available Sept 3rd), around the layered panel a couple times and tie a bow. Adhere the layered panel to the Basic Beige card base with Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up1 Etched Autumn CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from the Amber Autumn stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. Cut the sentiment out using the new Traditional Labels Dies. Using the Traditional Labels Dies, cut the size larger than the sentiment from a panel of Mossy Meadow. Adhere the sentiment to the mat with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Muted Palette Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up1 Etched Autumn CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Beige, stamp the sentiment from the Amber Autumn stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. Stamp the leaf image from the Amber Autumn stamp set on the top and bottom corners in Early Espresso Ink. color the image with Timid Tiger Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic Beige panel to a Mossy Meadow mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

Stampin' Up1 Etched Autumn CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic Whit Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the leaf image from the Amber Autumn stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front. Color the image with Timid Tiger Stampin’ Blends Markers. Stamp the leaf image from the Etched Autumn stamp set on the envelope flap by inking it up with the same inked baby wipe.

The states with upcoming tax holidays are:  Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.  So if you live in one of those states or Puerto Rico, take a second to download the spreadsheet below and mark your calendar!

Here is the list of states having sales tax holidays, what the dates are and what supplies will be tax free during the holiday (click on the image to download a full-size printable page):

Please note that you must place your order with Stampin’ Up! during the tax holiday period in your state in order to receive these items tax-free (which is midnight on the first day to midnight on the last day of the tax holiday).  Also, keep in mind that this is a state sales tax holiday; the state statute may not apply to county, city, and special jurisdiction taxes.

For those wondering about Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, New Jersey, and Wisconsin, those states have suspended the sales tax holiday this year.
